I'm trying to make sense of this histopathology report that mentioned "necrotising epithelioid cell granulomas of myco bacterial etiology." What does that mean exactly? Should I be worried about it? Just looking for some clarity on what this might mean for my health.

View allI'm really worried because I've been rejected for a medical check for Kuwait due to two white spots on the left side of my lungs. I feel stranded since I can't fly even though I think I'm medically fit. Is there any hope of getting rid of these spots? I had TB when I was almost 3 years old22 years ago now. I'm 24. Is there any treatment I can consider?
I understand how frustrating this situation must be for you. The white spots on your lungs are likely scar tissue from your past TB. While treatments like bronchoscopy or surgical options can sometimes help, they may not always clear the scars entirely. Consulting a pulmonologist for a detailed evaluation is the best step.

I've been using the Seroflo 250 Inhaler for a couple of years now because my doctor prescribed it, but I just found out that it contains Fluticasone Propionate, which I heard is a steroid and might not be great for long-term health. I'm kinda worried because whenever I try to stop using it, I start having breathing issues within a couple of days. Is there any inhaler available in India that has only Salbutarol and no steroids?
Hi, using a Seroflo 250 inhaler is essential for controlling asthma or COPD as it contains both a steroid (Fluticasone) to reduce inflammation and a bronchodilator. However, Salbutamol-only inhalers like Asthalin or Levolin are available but are meant for quick relief, not long-term control. Consult your doctor before making any changes to ensure your symptoms stay managed.
